I have two named selections of faces (with the same number of faces in each one). I would like to create a spring connection between face1 of NS1 and face1 of NS2, face2 of NS1 and face2 of NS2, etc. How do I do that?

    The following code can be adapted:

    NS1 = ExtAPI.DataModel.GetObjectsByName("Selection1")[0]
NS2 = ExtAPI.DataModel.GetObjectsByName("Selection2")[0]

for item in range(len(NS1.Location.Ids)):
    spring = ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Connections.AddSpring()
    tempRefSel= ExtAPI.SelectionManager.CreateSelectionInfo(SelectionTypeEnum.GeometryEntities)
    tempRefSel.Ids= [NS1.Location.Ids[item]]
    spring.ReferenceScopeLocation = tempRefSel
    tempMobSel= ExtAPI.SelectionManager.CreateSelectionInfo(SelectionTypeEnum.GeometryEntities)
    tempMobSel.Ids= [NS2.Location.Ids[item]]
    spring.MobileScopeLocation = tempMobSel
